        <div class="entry-content">
            <p><strong>Dubrovnik</strong>, is one of the most beautiful cities we have ever visited. The Old Town is
                a mixture of medieval architecture, Italian style piazzas and cobbled streets. There are over 50
                restaurants and numerous bars, most with a stunning view. The Old Town is enclaved by thick medieval
                walls which you can climb and walk along. In 1979, the city of Dubrovnik joined the UNESCO list of&nbsp;World
                Heritage Sites. It was dubbed the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’ by Lord Byron, you’ll see why when you go
                there. It’s also a cultural hub with over 20 art galleries, and a world famous summer music and film
                festival. It was heavily damaged in the Siege of Dubrovnik in 1991, with over half of buildings
                being damaged, although you couldn’t tell to see it today.</p>

                is at the end of Placa (Stradun) street, beside Luža, on the left side of the square centered with
                Orlando column the monumental Gothic-Renaissance Sponza Palace. Stradun is the main street in the old
